URL Scoring

The URL scoring runs on a Google Cloud Function and can be triggered via HTTPS:

https://europe-west1-gen-medialiteracy-paris2019.cloudfunctions.net/scoreUrl?url=<URL_TO_SCORE>

Please note that you need to perform URL encoding for the url query parameter. The endpoint sends an wildcard * access control header to fully enable CORS requests.

Examples

• https://orf.at – very trusted source
• https://example.com – demo URL which will always fail

  "score": -0.5,

Score

The score for an URL can be between -1 (highly problematic), 0 (neutral), 1 (no suspicion, inspiring confidence).

Detailed Factors

The final score is determined by weighted checks. The following formula is used to calculate a score: Math.max(Math.min(scorePoints, 100), -100) / 100

• Spam Blacklisting – blacklisted IP addresses will get 10 points.
